If you get Flounder again, try pan frying it whole in butter and lemon. It’s really easy to eat and tastes amazing

Yes I agree with Cherree. Flounder is best fried whole. Either pan fried (healthiest) or deep fried in batter. The outer flesh is so soft and smooth yummy. Also you dont wast any of that yummy yummy flounder. Wish I lived there too but have to be ok in New Zealand. Thanks for your continued high standard of videos.

G'day from AUS. Awesome tips for cooking flounder. As for me I cook flounder Asian style (me being Filo' born). I pat dry the flounder, cut a couple of shallow grooves along the thickest part of the flesh. Salt and pepper (or any favourite spices) then a light dusting of flour on each side. Shallow fry to your preferred crispiness. I notice you use a lot of coconut oil which I awesome, enjoy. BTW: your videos are a hard habit to break! Cheers.

Hey Eric, instead of using a triple swivel, use a piece of tackle called a bazooka. It lets your line slide through so you can feel the bite. You can get them at sportsman’s. Also if you really get into shore fishing a 14’ rod really helps sling your bait out farther. Try clam gulch for some halibuts when the hooligan are running they bring in some big ones, cheers!

The flounder is the perfect fish to eat raw. It is one of the main fish we have in Korea when we go for raw fish. Try it with wasabi and soy sauce or a sauce of blended red hot pepper and vinegar. For a milder sauce, try sesame oil and salt. Awesome video today like always! ♡ you guys!

actually flounder, and pollack are considered a "trash" fish in Alaska :) its why there is no limit on them .. vs salmon, halibut, etc.. there isnt even a commercial fishery for them if I recall, they dont bring in enough money ... yet (as the worlds oceans become even more depleted, it might become a fishery later, but the prices would have to triple on those fish world wide)

Another great video. You’ve probably already seen lots of tips for cooking flounder as they are very versatile. My favourite is steaming, bone-on, with favourite herbs and a little butter - this is also the least wasteful as the flesh all comes away from the bones. I loved Eric’s hesitance before de-hooking the big-mouthed lingcod - they look like stealth-predators that gulp their prey in as they swim by so I would be taking a good look inside that mouth before putting my hand anywhere near it… I hope the rain eases up for you to enjoy a few more summer weeks yet.

I like fresh cod,just egg&floured and pan fried in butter. I would never recommend trying a fish any other way, you have to know what things taste like before you start throwing handfuls of herbs and spices at them. Cod and most flat fish are best after a night in the fridge. Trout and eels should be killed as close to cooking as possible. Big Pollock make amazing fish curry.

Being a chef by trade, I would've done it the other way around. Since halibut and sol are such light flaky fish, I typically bake or broil the filets and put some kind of ight vegetable "stuffing" on top with a light lemon and butter sauce. The pollock, since it's similar to cod I would've definitely beer battered it...with your homemade tartar sauce of course! Yum yum! But hey....live and learn!

In 1977 on a Salmon Seiner going from Seattle to Kodiak we stopped over at Seward. The dock was well lit and way down in that clear water I could see big fish swimming around. It was early May prior to Salmon season opening but we had a few rods and reels and I tied on a red and white spoon and dropped it down. They bit right away. They looked like that fish you said was Pollock. My crewmate thought they were what he called Tom Cod. We filleted them and having nothing else just sauteed them in butter, salt and pepper. I recall them being very mild and slightly sweet tasting. It was the only time I ate any. I was 22 and now know there are a lot of good eating fish in Alaska......though by the end of September having eaten so much salmon I felt like Bubba in Forest Gump reciting all the different ways to eat it...that it was years after before I could eat salmon again and enjoy it. We sure ate good that summer though. Traded salmon with Halibut longliners for skinless boneless filet of halibut. We sometimes caught hundreds if not thousands of small sole type fishes...a lot were blotchy mottled black and light colored. They weren't harmed but were a pain to pick out of the net and release. In short periods when salmon season would close in an area so enough would get up river to spawn we would drop a few pots for Dungeness crab or dig razor or steamer clams (Razors were fantastic. We all had subsistence licenses and we got a Caribou along the Alaskan peninsula and split it between our boat and my skipper's father's boat (the famous Alaskan fisherman who virtually pioneered the King Crab fishery...name of Ole Harder...I worked for his son Paul) We got two Sitka deer on Kodiak while anchored up near shore. Of course I love your channel and it brings back some of the best memories of my life. I had an offer from Ole to crab on his boat the winter of 77-78 but I'd flown back to Georgia to check on the girlfriend I'd left behind over a year ago and ended up getting engaged. She was a hometown southern girl...still is...we've been married 44 years. Had I not flown home I might have never left Alaska I loved it so much. All the beauty, wilderness and wildlife. And I found the people very unpretentious. On the way up to Kodiak we also stopped in Juneau because Paul wanted to visit his sister. I was on the boat which was docked and Paul was in town. A guy in a pea coat and watch cap came down the dock and asked if the boat was Paul Harder's. I said it was and the guy said that Paul's father Ole had told him Paul built a new boat. In Paul's absence I showed him around. I figured he was another fisherman. When he left he told me to tell Paul that Jay Hammond stopped by. When Paul came I told him and he told me that Jay was the governor of Alaska! No enourage or nothing! Very impressed!!!

Hey from New Zealand, awesome catch. flounder is a fish you don’t have to fillet, you just clean them and cook them as is. Flounder can be cooked in cream or coconut cream or milk or fried with salt and pepper, but that just the way I was taught. Thank you 😊

Hearty kai. I love fresh flounder cooked in butter for breakfast with eggs. And a big cuppa tea ☕. I did chuckle when I saw them fillet those flounders. They're so skinny, those are some mad skills!

It's very hard to act naturally in front of a camera -- it's actually one of the things I like most about this channel. They do quite a good job of just being normal, instead of hamming it up. Most people can't even act naturally nowadays, even if there are no cameras around. Everybody is trying to be a celebrity, all the time.

How you bread salt-water fish definitely makes a world of difference. I’m not all that big on panko breading, so your beer-batter approach seemed to work very well. Brining for an hour or so, while finding the spices you enjoy the most in the breading should be a fun adventure. But yep, this type of fish is popular because it isn’t all that oily or “fishy.” You’ll figure it out over time. Keep a journal on your experimentation. And, the chickens WILL love whatever you and Pepper don’t.

Seeing the road under construction at the beginning reminded me of when my Dad took us on our first road trip down to Homer and since he was not used to driving on corduroy type roads when we hit pavement, he literally got out of the car and kissed the pavement, he was so thankful. Our first king salmon came from Anchor River right before you get into Homer and never in my life had I ever tasted fish so wonderful. Our first king crab came from Kachemak Bay there right off Land's End and you talk about good eating, you could not beat it and I have never tasted tarter sauce made by the boat captain's wife like that since although Ivar's in Seattle comes really close! Thanks for the memories!

Another Great Adventure! I love a road trip, especially with you guys. What awesome scenery you guys always show us. That spit was huge. Loved all the strange fish you showed us and the amazing fish fry looked really good. Never would have thought to make turnip fries. They looked really good too. I always look forward to seeing Bandit and Beau with you on your adventures too. See you next time! 😁😄

Your channel is pure genius! You mix everyday life in rural Alaska off-grid, which is very interesting, with your trips, with all the adventure, with your cooking, which is always a high point. I cannot imagine a more interesting variety of content. My wife and I look forward to watching every episode. BTW - if you are ever in Florida, you are welcome to stay with us. We live in a 55+ community, but have an extra bed and bath. We would love to meet you.

Very fun video! I personally love using sole and flounder for ceviche. Because it is a softer flesh fish, it "cooks" up very quickly in the citrus (I use a mix of lemon/lime/grapefruit/orange, but completely not necessary to use grapefruit and orange). Since you grow all those beautiful peppers, onions and tomatoes - plus your cilantro - you would only need to purchase the citrus. Lots of different recipes to choose from, and plenty of wiggle room for experimenting. Have fun! :)

Love how enthusiastic y'all are! I've been waiting for y'all to get to the salt. Hope you'll get out to try crabbing/prawns too. Seems right up your alley. Those sole are wonderful with the classic white wine, garlic, capers and butter. Really delicate. I personally don't fry them because it kinda emphasizes the softer texture. Thanks for sharing 👍
